HD SPY WATCH WITH NIGHT VISION USER GUIDE

6

Watch and Wear

Wear the watch on your left or right wrist as you would any watch so you can read 
the face with the 12 o’clock pointing up. The lens is built into the dot at 6 o’clock. 
If you gaze at the watch on your wrist as it’s recording, you’ll appear upside down 
on playback. Not to worry. The lens has been mounted upside down so that when 
you hold your wrist outward horizontally with, for instance, your hand across your 
stomach, subjects in front of you will appear upright on playback. 

Note: 

Make sure while recording videos or taking photos to orient the watch with the 

12 o’clock pointed toward the floor and the 6 o’clock to the ceiling. Be mindful of your 
fingers and shirt or coat sleeves. Pay particular attention not to cover the portion of 
the watch face near 6 o’clock since that’s where the lens is hidden.

Night Vision

Four infrared LEDs along the bottom of the clock face can be activated to record 
black and white video in darkness. You must turn the night vision feature on each 
time while the camera is recording video.

1. Start recording video (as described above), then press and hold the 10 o’clock 
button for about 2 seconds. The red LED will flash three times, confirming that night 
vision is engaged.

2. To disable night vision, press and hold the 10 o’clock button for about 3 seconds. 
Though there will be no confirming LED flashing this time, night vision will be 
disabled.

Note: 

The infrared LEDs cannot be set to automatically activate. Subjects you expect 

to capture with night vision must be centered in the frame and no more than about 
5-feet (1.5 m) away from the watch. Make sure that your fingers don’t cover the watch 
face.

Taking Photos

When photographs are preferable to videos, you can set the camera to capture still 
images.

1. Turn on the camera normally as you would to start a video recording by holding 
down the 2 o’clock button, then pause the video recording by pressing the 2 o’clock 
button twice. With the LED now a steady blue, the camera is in Standby mode.

2. Press the 2 o’clock button twice. The red LED will start to flash.
